THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

The people Of Kansas have abundant
reasons for praise and Thanksgiving.
The Almighty, in His infinite wisdom
and goodness, has showered upon them
many evidences of His protecting care
and kindness. Peace and prosperity
have blessed the commonwealth. Epi-
denies have not invaded our borders.
Our industries have prospered. All the
people have been secure in their persons
and property. Schools and churches
have multiplied and a wonderful devel-
opme1t Of material resources has been
witnessed in every section Of the state
1t is fitting that we should reverently
acknowledge the manifold blessings that
have been vouchsafcd us as a people.
Therefore I. John \. Martin governor of
the state of Kansas. designating Thurs
day. November "A, as day of public
Thanksgiving and praise, | do request the
that day and recommend that they as
semble in their accustomed places of
worship for the purposes above indicated.
have been blessed with health
and prosperity to remember the
afflicted and the destitute by kindly
deeds and generous benefaCtions, and
thus make Thanksgiving day q festival of
abundance and praise in every homo and
heart throughout the commonwealth.
In testimony whereof | have affixed the
great seal of the state Of Kansas. Done
at the city Of Topeka this second day Of
November, i. d. 1881! the twenty-seventh
year of the state. and of the indepen-
dence of the United States the one hun

for feeding purposes at times
when range or pasture cattle are not in
condition, SO that there will be nothing
ODE apprehended from lack Of beef
cattle on the market at all seasons. It Is
one Of the necessities Of Texas to have
slaughtering establishment. There is
scarcely butcher IN the state who does
not send to Kansas City for his sausage,
spare ribs, etc., and very many ct the
leading hotels are furnished from the
same source This is wrong. The ice
bcX should be banished and Texas should
slaughter and dress her own meats.
Texas hotels and Texas butchers should
not be compelled to send out Of the state
for their meats simply because we have no
ORGANIZED method Of dressing in opera
ton. The money sent out OF the
state in one month would equip system
of packing capable of supplying Texas +,
snd this would hold in our midst thou
sands of dollars now being sent out OF
the state. This question is state mat
ter. It is something in which every por-
ton of the state is interested and its con-
summation should not be too long de-
layed. Without desiring to do Houston
any Injustice it may be admitted that the
refrigerator scheme conceived in thai
city has proven sbortive. The cool bust
ness sense of those who subscribed the
money told them, On reflection, that
Houston WIGS not the proper place for q
packing establishment. North Texas cat
tie could not be shipped there without
danger Of fever, and that section of coun-
try produces no beef cattle whatever
North Texas is the fsttenirg ground and
in North Texas only can packing estab-
Iishment be carried On successfully. The
advantage OF q central market for Texas
cattle is well known, and adding to this
I. packing establishment capable OF fur
nisbing the state at least with her meats,
would prove CT incalculable benefit. Those
gentlemen who SO literally responded to
the call for funds made by Houston. now
that the Houston undertaking has been
abandoned, might transfer their subscrip-
tons to Fort Worth and open here where
the plan is feasible and possible
the enterprise which the condition Of
affairs renders impossible at any other
point in the state. The refrigerator and
the stock yards must 60 together here, as
in Kansas City AID elsewhere.

the people Of Fort Worth have recog-
nizsd this need of tie city; but who has
moved to organize the action that is re-
quired to secure whist we need? The
time for action has come. The necessity
OF the city is equally the necessity Of the
country. THE GAZETTE has addressed
itself to the city not because the citY's
need of passable thoroughfares and its
benefits from such Ioadways are greater
than the country'e, but because it is
easier to reach the city than the country
As & matter of fsct, the peo-
pie now inhabitiDg the city can
better endure impossible country roads
than can the people now inhabitlng the
country. THE GAZETTE appeals to the
people of the city that they may, individ-
uslly and collectively, seek the co-opera-
ton OF the people Of the country to sup
ply the common need. Why can not the
people OF Fort Worth inaugurate Ct oncs
an organized action to secure what sll
I'D nit is an urgent need?

THE CONFERENCE TO-DAY.

To-day at Dallas the people and the
railroads will meet in conference to IN
sugurhte cooperative action in behalf OF
the upbuilding OF Texas. The people
have already begun the work in
the formation OF county and district
immigration bureaus, and THE GAZETTE
hss all confidence that the meeting to-day
| will develop willingness on the part OF
| the roads to do sill and even more than
the people have asked. THE GAZETTE
believes that an excursion rate will be
made that will enable Texas to compete
with any state in the Union, and that
such rate will be made now.
And if this faith is justified in the result
of to-day's conference, it will be found
that grsnder result will fol
| low, viz: that the rosds and
the people OF Texas will be drawn closer
together and become unit in the work
| of building up the state. There is neither
profit nor reason in antagonism, and THE
GAZETTE predicts that the roads will have
good cause TO bless the day when this
movement began. By availing themselves
Of this opportunity to cooperate with the
people in 8 movement intended to bene-
fit all classes and sections, the rail
roads Of Texas will do much to
neutralize the effort of the demagogue
and convince 81 the people, from whom
Jurors and Legislators are drawn, that the
interest of ell is the interest of one, and
the welfare Of enc is the welfare Of all.
THE GAZETTE believes that this con-
ference to-day will herald the death of
antagonism and it's twin brother, Old
Fogyism.

to lower our business in the opinion CT

that Mr.. Nose Harris, in striving to be

"nip sleeper" The compositor ct it
up ''nicking SUPER" which was rather
remarkable in the compositor, as nine
out of ten thoroughly understands the
technicallties OF the game. The Waco
Examiner lnnocently desires information,
as is shown by the following inquiry:
What does the wicked paragraphics CT
THE GAZETTE mean by "Nicking Stu
per" in connection with Msjor Moses G.
Harris fitness for G municipal Office in
Austin?
Other papers reply that THE GAZETTE
man is too much given to coming new
words, and admit their Inability to en-
swer the question. But Msjor Harris
made no inquiry. He discovered under
the typographical error of the compositor
what THE GAZETTE's editor wrote. And
he knows the meaning of it, too. In the
excitement OF game called faro tits said
men sometimes become SO excited that
they forget where they laid their bets.

WANTED-PASSABLE ROADS.

So much has been said in behalf OF
good country roads that The GAZETTE
can not hope to add anything to the
public apprehension Of the benefits to be
derived from improved roadWsys. THE
GAZETTE therefore would simply csll
public attention, not to the advantages OF
good roads, but to the imperative need
OF passeble thorcughfares leading into
the city.
Every man in Fort Worth appreciates
the value of good roads, and perhaps
every man in Fort Worth realizes the
necessity for such highways; but no man
moves for organized action to supply this
pressing reed ct our retail trade, while
ali men lament it. Recognition and con-
fession of public necessity is idle with
out action; lsmentation without organized
effort is worse than idleness. The time
has come for sction, and for organized
action such as has brought to Fort Worth
all that it has ever accomplished.
When this city wants q railroad, or
stockysrds,or manufacturing enterprise,
its people meet and organize and unity
their effort to the consummation of the
common purpose and benefit. Fort
Worth needs and Fort Worth wants good
country roadways, but, so far, the effort
TO secure them has been isolated and
spasmodic; and yet al admit that the
city hiss 10 more urgent need and that
nothing would so inspirit and give
strength to our retail trade. We clamor
for more people to fill the vacant preiries
around and about our city, while
we recognize, confess and lament that
the people we have are shut out fromSas
by Chinese wall of black mud.
The press of Fort Worth has directed
public attention to this need of the cit;
the merchants of Fort Worth have d
misted and lamented this need of the city; !
